Make sure you have your say about what your firm is strategically focusing on within the next 12 months.  

The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has just delivered a landmark decision that could significantly impact M&A disclosure litigation. This ruling allows for increased scrutiny of the mootness fee practice, which has previously been criticized for benefiting shareholders' lawyers more than the shareholders themselves. Here’s what you need to know about this ruling: ◼ It challenges the practice of settling M&A lawsuits by paying mootness fees. ◼ It emphasizes the need for judicial oversight to curb frivolous lawsuits, potentially reducing the 'deal tax' burden on companies. ◼ It could decrease the frequency and cost of disclosure-only litigation, affecting how deals are negotiated and finalized. This pivotal moment could mark the beginning of a new era in how M&A transactions are handled in court.
